Table 2 Subsonic viscous flow around a sphere: drag coefficient \(C_D\) and lift coefficient \(C_L\), and wake length L obtained by different schemes. The Mach number and Reynolds number of the incoming flow are \(Re=118\) and \(Ma=0.2535\). T-mesh, H-mesh and M-mesh represent tetrahedral mesh, hexahedral mesh and hybrid mesh respectively
